What is Conclave?
Conclave is the biennial gathering of our brotherhood where FarmHouse alumni and undergraduates come together to conduct Fraternity business, learn about new programs and initiatives and celebrate our collective achievements. Conclave was first held in 1917 and this year marks the 52nd time we’ve gathered as a Fraternity.
In addition to important Fraternity legislative business conducted, Conclave offers provides educational sessions and social events to enjoy our fraternal bonds of brotherhood. We will also recognize our accomplished brothers with awards, memorialize our brothers who have passed, elect leadership to the International Executive Board and celebrate our FarmHouse brotherhood!
Who can attend Conclave?
All are welcome! FarmHouse chapters and associations are each required to send voting delegates. Additionally, all chapter members and alumni brothers are encouraged to join and learn from one another.
Can I bring a non-member to Conclave?
Absolutely! Please complete a registration form for each guest you are bringing with you and select the package or a la carte events they will attend.

This is my first Conclave, what should I expect?
Prepare to connect with FH brothers, learn about FarmHouse and the future of the Fraternity and enjoy Louisville.
